Pomifera Oil Where does it come from?

Pomifera Oil comes from the  The Osage Orange,  or Maclura Pomifera.  This fruit is the product of a common midwestern fruit tree.  The Osage-orange is a small to medium-sized tree, having a short trunk and a rounded or irregular crown. The twigs are buff to orange-brown and are armed with one-half inch long spines. The stems exude a milky sap when cut. The Osage-orange is dioecious, meaning that male and female flowers are produced on separate trees. The small, green flowers appear in May or June. Female trees produce 3-to 5-inch diameter fruit which ripen in September or October and fall to the ground.  The Osage-orange is native to a small area in eastern Texas, southeastern Oklahoma, and southwestern Arkansas.  While the wood of the Osage Orange tree, which is highly resistant to rot,  is valuable for it’s usage in many farm related things such as fence posts, tree nails, furniture and archery bows, the fruit is considered a throwaway  in the landscape and is thought to have little value as it is not an important source of nutrition for animals.

However, as it turns out, this highly sustainable,  Hedge Apple (or Osage Orange) oil has many benefits to humans. It is antimicrobial,  anti inflammatory, antibacterial and has antioxidant properties and is very good for your skin.  It repairs damaged and aged skin cells and helps heal many common skin issues, including rosacea. The improvement this incredible oil produces is immediate and truly impressive.  This oil from this fruit is so impresive that it penetrates the skin cell and take whatever it is mixed with with it- meaning it will enhance the effectiveness of anything it is mixed with.  That’s good news for those of us with mature skin!
